Entitlement to vote at the Annual General Meeting

A determination has been made by the Board under regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 that that the persons eligible to vote at the Annual General Meeting are those who are registered Shareholders of the Company as at 7.00pm (Melbourne time) on Tuesday, 12 May 2026, subject to any applicable voting exclusion.

Proxy voting by the Chairman

The Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act 2011 (Cth) imposes prohibitions on Key Management Personnel and their Closely Related Parties from voting their shares (or voting undirected proxies) on, amongst other things, remuneration matters.

However, the chair of a meeting may vote an undirected proxy (i.e. a proxy that does not specify how it is to be voted), provided the Shareholder who has lodged the proxy has given an express voting direction to the chair to exercise the undirected proxy, even if the resolution is connected with the remuneration of a member of Key Management Personnel.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of each item of business.

If you complete a Proxy Form that authorises the Chairman of the Meeting to vote on your behalf as proxy, and you do not mark any of the boxes so as to give him directions about how your vote should be cast, then you will be taken to have expressly authorised the Chairman to exercise your proxy on all Resolutions.

In accordance with this express authority provided by you, the Chairman will vote in favour of all Resolutions. If you wish to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, and you wish to direct him how to vote, please tick the appropriate boxes on the Proxy Form.

If you appoint as your proxy any Director of the Company, except the Chairman, or any other Key Management Personnel or any of their Closely Related Parties and you do not direct your proxy how to vote on Resolution 1, he or she will not vote your proxy on that resolution.

Ms Sophie Karzis was appointed as Director of the Company on 23 May 2016, and was re-elected by shareholders at the Company's annual general meeting on 10 December 2020 and 4 May 2023. Ms Karzis has not since been re-elected by shareholders.

Accordingly, Ms Karzis is required to retire and stand for re-election under rule 47(a), this Meeting being the third annual general meeting since her last election.
